Pridmore #25 |
Obverse : | C Y 1 | (incuse) |
Reverse : | blank |
The number 1 is assumed to represent a full task. See also C Y ½ half task token. Both listed in Dick Ford Collection (1995 Feb 23 Taisei-Baldwin-Gillio Auction#19 lot #268 part).
There many such locally manufactured tokens of similar fabric and style with issuer unknown.
For example AW 1 P#7 full token;
MD 1 P#71 token;
TK 1 token; P#103 half token;
The existance of some which have ½ stamped incuse for half task,
is the justification of them being called coffee tokens.
